Blogger's Quilt Festival, part 2

For my second entry in the Blogger's Quilt Festival at AmysCreativeSide.com, I am featuring my Imperial Star quilt.

This quilt is based on a traditional Broken Star design, with additional elements inspired by the work of Edyta Sitar.  The applique uses shapes from several of Edyta's patterns.

I am entering this quilt in the Applique Quilt category of the festival.

Here are a few more photos:

The quilting shows up well from the back:

UPDATE: This quilt has been selected for the Viewer's Choice category.  What an honor!

Blogger's Quilt Festival, part 1

Amy Ellis is again hosting a Blogger's Quilt Festival at AmysCreativeSide.com.  Be sure to visit to see all the wonderful quilts in eleven categories.

My first entry for this year's festival, in the Large Quilt category, is my Double G Picnic quilt:

This quilt uses Cotton+Steel fabrics, primarily from Melody Miller's Picnic line.

I first posted about this quilt here.  This was a quick and easy quilt to construct; I wrote a tutorial which can be found here.
